Gruyere cheese. GruyÃ¨re (pronounced groo-YAIR) is a type of Swiss cheese made from whole cow's milk which is generally cured for six months or longer. Named for the town of GruyÃ¨res in Switzerland where it was originally made, GruyÃ¨re cheese is a firm cheese with a pale yellow color and a rich, creamy, slightly nutty taste. GruyÃ¨re features a few small holes or eyes, but they are fewer, and smaller, than Emmental, which is another variety of Swiss cheese.
